HOMEOWNERS interested in building coach houses, secondary suites, or other small-scale multi-unit housing, are invited to attend Delta’s Housing Our Future PLAN-A-THON. The City of Delta’s Development Department will be available at the North Delta Recreation Centre on Saturday, November 23, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to provide residents with a one-stop-shop for in-person support for their development questions.
“Since the Province introduced new regulations allowing for more small-scale multi-unit housing in single-family neighbourhoods, the City has received many questions from homeowners about what is possible on their properties,” said Doreann Mayhew, Delta’s General Manager of Development. “This unique event will make it easy for homeowners to get personalized advice and access the technical experts in one room.”
Here is a list of what attendees can expect at the event:
- Sit down with a City planner to review what small-scale housing may be possible on your individual property
- Discuss what water, sewer or storm water upgrades might be required to support your project
- Learn the requirements of building a secondary suite
- Understand what plan checkers look for in drawings for your project
- Get tips on how to pass your inspections when your project is complete
The event will also include draw prizes, giveaways, refreshments, and activities for children. Email development@delta.ca or call 604-946-3380 for more information about the event.
